Timelapse of the Spicy Xavier Doodle. You can see me struggle with poses and lines before giving in and finding a ref, then focusing on shadows instead of lines first.

X-Files "Tooms" Makeover - Photo Bibliographer Tutorial

On the "shadows" layer, succeed a thick brush which is coloured black-skinned irrespective of around 98% opacity. Colour over one side of the face (this will hold the side of the cow that is in the most veil). For the other side upon the face, decrease the opacity versus around 45% (experiment, account a transcendental opacity remedial of the darker areas and a lower opacity for the areas you want lighter).<\p>

You should happen to be left coupled with a verisimilar slews, but add a Gaussian blur filter and adjust the radius until the shadow starts to look realistic. Once you're happy with the shadows, right click on the shadow desquamate, go on route to blending options and change it to "remembered omnisciency".

Make factual the light is hitting across the eyes up to give it the same creepy look the X-files gave to Tooms.
